Integration
Integration documents the violent start to Ukraine’s Maidan protests that got under way during the first few months of 2014. Radynski made his film in the heat of the moment, before the echo of events had subsided. The film focuses, however, on what was happening behind the scenes and, according to official information about the documentary, the relationships between authority and ritual, politics and faith, religion and rebellion.
